These instructions are reachable, as proven by direct execution, the unmodified world class simulator and even by HHH1. > > HHH emulated by the directly executed HHH cannot possibly derive > any other steps and I have proved this by the actual execution trace > by a world class x86 emulator libx86emu. Yes olcott's modifications of the world class makes it impossible to reach this reachable code. HHH cannot possible simulate itself correctly up to the end.
